ABOUT US
Laura Bender
Real Estate Specialist
I am a relocation expert serving Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas, guiding buyers and sellers along the coast. My strength is constant communication and connection that builds trust so you feel supported and understood throughout the entire process of your real estate journey along the Grand Strand here in South Carolina.
As a Top Producer, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to every transaction. I hold key designations such as Seller Representative Specialist (SRS), Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®), Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE), Pricing Strategies Advisor (PSA), and Resort and Second Home Specialist (RSPS), ensuring I’m equipped to handle a wide range of real estate needs.
My commitment to excellence has earned the recognition as a ‘2026 Rising Star’ from Carolina Coast Real Producers of Myrtle Beach, ‘2023 Rookie of the Year’ from Realty ONE Group Dockside, as well as multiple accolades including the ‘Trusted Agent Award’ and ‘Price Expert Award’ from verified client reviews received by Rate My Agent. I’m proud to be ranked in the Top 10% of Coastal Carolinas Association of REALTORS, along with receiving the ‘Top 20% Nationwide in Customer Service’ award from Rate my Agent.
After years of dreaming of the beach life, my family took the leap in 2019 and relocated from York, PA to Myrtle Beach, SC and never looked back! Since making the move, we’ve fallen in love with the Grand Strand, the vibrant local culture, and the unparalleled southern lifestyle. Having gone through the transition personally, I understand how overwhelming it can be to relocate, especially from out of state. I am committed to making your move to South Carolina as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Whether you’re looking to invest in a second home, sell your property, or follow your dream to move to the beach, I am here to help! Let’s elevate your lifestyle with coastal living! I look forward to connecting with you!
Mark Bender
Real Estate Specialist
I’m Mark Bender, a Relocation Specialist and real estate agent in Myrtle Beach — and one half of Bender Coastal Group, alongside my wife, Laura.
Having made the move to the coast ourselves, we understand exactly what it takes to make that transition — the excitement, the challenges, and the incredible reward of living where others vacation. That’s why helping others make the same move we did is so meaningful to me. We can truly relate to the process and love guiding our clients through every step with honesty, energy, and care.
For me, real estate is all about connection. I love helping people find not just a home, but a lifestyle — whether that’s relocating to the coast, investing in a second home, or making Myrtle Beach their full-time paradise. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me spending time with Laura and our two daughters, enjoying everything that makes coastal living so special — beach days, good food, and time together as a family.
